New Music: Keyshia Cole debuts horribly ratchet new single ‘Rick James’...

Well damn. Keyshia Cole's alleged separation from her husband has made her mighty mad. And more ratchet than ever! But you know what they say, you can take the girl out of the hood, and vice versa. Keyshia finds herself slapping bitches like 'Rick James' while kicking her cheating man to the curb. 

The hood anthem serves as the first single off her upcoming sixth studio album. But is the Juicy J-assisted cut any good?

No bueno. An off key screaming mess if ever I've heard one. The hard-hitting production actually has potential, but the hook is just stupid and the lyrics are too elementary ("I'm Rick James, Bitch", really Keyshia?) This really aint it. She's too old to be singing songs like this and she's not even differentiating herself from K. Michelle anymore.  When I said I was excited to hear some new post-divorce music, this was NOT what I had in mind. I say it's time to go back to the drawing board, or don't come at all.

Thoughts?
